Maintaining a long distance relationship as an expat in Belize

Post new topic

Bhavna

Hello everyone,

Moving to Belize without your significant other can be quite difficult, especially since your partner is an undeniable source of support. This kind of move may require some adjustments from both parties in order to make it a successful one.

What is challenging about being in a long distance relationship in Belize?

How to maintain an adequate level of communication considering differing schedules and time zones?

How often would you travel to each other’s location to meet?

How do you manage to still have a social life in Belize?

What hurdles need to be considered if you have left behind children who are under the sole care of your partner?

Thanks for sharing your experience,
Bhavna

Calling frequently with WhatsApp or FB messenger. They are both free calls. I still travel for business, otherwise we both live in Belize. This keeps us close.
